April 2021

Dear Housing Professional,

You are cordially invited to participate as a sponsor of the 30th Annual HOPE Expo.  We are excited to announce this will be a virtual event held on September 18 and 25, 2021. A registration website will be accessible starting June 22, 2021 and will cover all event-related information, including class and sponsor content. Registration for the event will remain open until August 31, 2021.

As a sponsor, we want you to have the same opportunity in this virtual setting to meet with attendees as you have had in the past at the in-person events. While visiting the website to register, attendees will also be able to sign up for one-on-one meetings with your company, giving you an opportunity to engage and promote your services. To further encourage attendees to schedule a meeting with your company, we will be providing an incentive raffle for attendees who meet with the vendors. 

Potential homebuyers exhibit a high interest in attending workshops and seeking information about exhibitor products and services related to buying their first home. We anticipate that over 300 people will be attending the Expo from Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Hillsborough and surrounding counties. 

The Home Buyer Workshop will be conducted virtually, one in English and one in Spanish.  Each day the classes will be from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.  Attendees will be able to sign up for the virtual breakout sessions described above from 9:00 – 10:00 am and 2:00 – 3:00 pm. If your company has Spanish language materials and/or Spanish-speaking representatives, it may be beneficial to have them available on your page and for individual appointments.

Your sponsorship helps us make this event possible for first time homebuyers and keeps their registration free. We are happy to offer three sponsorship opportunities this year. Details are on the next page.

The deadline to be a part of the 30th Annual HOPE Expo as a sponsor is Friday, May 28, 2021. Please join us for this exciting event by completing the attached reservation form and returning it with your sponsorship fee.
